Do contraceptives need to be eaten on an empty stomach?

Contraceptive fasting depends on the type of contraceptive. It is generally recommended to take contraceptives on an empty stomach, because contraceptives work better on an empty stomach. Long-acting contraceptives and short-acting contraceptives can be taken after meals. Contraceptives are mostly made of estrogen and progesterone. Contraceptives will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract after taking them. Drug stimulation will cause nausea, vomiting, etc. If you take contraceptives after meals, vomiting will affect the drug effect, so you need to take contraceptives again. Taking pills on an empty stomach will prevent this from happening. But for people with bad stomachs, taking pills on an empty stomach will stimulate the stomach. You can take pills two hours after meals. Contraceptive side effects are relatively large, it is generally recommended that you do not eat within two hours after taking the pill on an empty stomach.
